Overview

This class is abstract.

Probably best to avoid using directly.

Note:

Purpose was originally just a property of plates and so was originally just PlatePurpose. As a result its table, and the foreign key on labware are plate_purposes and plate_purpose_id despite the fact they can now be applied to tubes as well.

The Purpose of a piece of Labware describes its role in the lab. While most labware will retain a single purpose through their life cycle, it is possible for purpose to be changed. Ideally this should be performed with a PlateConversion to ensure proper tracking.

Historically Purpose has modified the behaviour of its corresponding Labware, with a number of methods, such as Plate#state delegating to Plate#plate_purpose. While this is still occasionally required, it tends to result in quite brittle, unflexible behaviour. More recently we have been trying to push these differences in business logic outwards. In this new approach the Pipeline handles differences in behaviour, and the purpose acts merely as a tag, which can be used to inform the pipeline how it may wish to proceed. This approach makes Labware far more interchangeable.

Information about which purpose classes are used, and their last activity can be generated by running: bundle exec rake report:purposes in the appropriate environment. (Probably production)
